Nanook Rifle Team Brings Home National Bronze

Earlier this month at the 2012 NCAA Men's and Women's Rifle Championships at Ohio State's French Field House, the Nanooks aimed and fired an aggregate score of 4661, taking home bronze and making us fellow Nanooks proud! A little late in recognizing but nevertheless a story of success to be shared, did I mention this is national success? Our university has had a rifle team since 1937, and since their participation in the NCAA over the past 20+ years have finished as the NCAA National Champions ten times or runner-up four times including a record-tying six-peat ('99-'04) - so it's not the first and indubitably not the last time the Nanook Rifle Team has been deemed a premier program and an outstanding team. Go 'Nooks!
